multiMAN v04.78.01* Fixed crash when scanning for /net_host (ps3netsrv) games

multiMAN v04.78.00* Added support for CFW 4.78* Updated Japanese translation by Kyan_dudl

Version 4.76.00Added support for CFW 4.76Fixed BD-Mirror for 4.75 DEX

Version 4.75.55(multiman a 5 ans)Support for CFW 4.75 CEX/DEXwebMAN v1.43 available with support for 4.75lastGAME14 available in the web column with support for 4.75Fixed/Removed unused DYNAREC references

Version 04.66.04 (23/11/2014)It is aimed to cover all configurations for better compatibility. This one will utilize the "USB Patch" option in "Settings" (used back in 3.41) and will affect the way BD-Mirror option is applied and when AIOMOD is used. The actual change is only with point 4) when both options are enabled.

STANDARD firmwares:1) [-] BD-Mirror | [-] USB Patch (Both options disabled) - multiMAN will act the same as before (all versions up to 04.66.02)2) [X] BD-Mirror | [-] USB Patch (Only BD-Mirror selected) - Same as before (AIOMOD.BIN is used for USB games and libfs.sprx is used for internal HDD games)3) [-] BD-Mirror | [X] USB Patch (Only USB patch selected) - (no effect) Same as before4) [X] BD-Mirror | [X] USB Patch (Both options enabled) - AIOMOD.BIN is not used. mM will use the old bd-mirror method for USB games (moving /PS3_GAME to the root of the USB HDD) and libfs.sprx is used for internal HDD games)

This will make mM fully compatible with older and newer cobra/non-cobra firmwares, providing all possible options for all games/environments. By using option 4) on standard firmwares the user won't have to manually delete/rename AIOMOD.BIN, because it is needed by some games and other require the plain old bd-mirror method.

For example, to make the "Mordor" game work on Cobra from external USB HDD you will need option 4) enabled (both BD-Mirror and USB Patch options enabled for the game in settings).

After you update to 04.66.04 nothing should change for most of you. If you experience issues with some external USB HDD games - try options 2) and 4). When reporting problems, please make sure that you load multiMAN/mmCM after CLEAN REBOOT and do not use other apps/patches before launching the game. If you use any app that disables syscalls/psn patchers/etc - I cannot guarantee anything.

Version 04.53.02 Added proper detection of COBRA7 firmwares (4.46-4.53) Added "Check for updates" for local PS3 games in ISO format Added check when loading local/network PS3 games in ISO format if installed game update requires higher firmware version and fixes sprx/self/eboot files

Version 04.53.01* Added support for 4.53 CEX CFW (tested)* Fixed covers/backgrounds for network PS3 games in JB/folder format* Added spoof to version 4.53 (COBRA7 firmwares only)

On Cobra7 compatible firmwares - make sure to delete mM's USRDIR/cache folder (if you want to get PIC1.PNG covers for network JB/folder games).

Network (/net_host#/***PS3***/) games now show ICON0.PNG, PIC1.PNG and a cover if available.

Version 04.20.04* Improved discless compatibility (even more) on 3.55/4.21/4.30CEX firmwares* A BD-DISC icon with [PlayStation(R)3] text will appear in XMB to replace /app_home/PS3_GAME entry* Tested few games, which didn't work discless before and now work just fine (like LEGO:Indiana Jones, LBP2 and others)* Upon launch mM will try to restore default LV2 environment by resetting syscalls 35, 36, 37, 141, 142, 600, 604 (this should fix problems when mM is launched after Iris)

Version 04.20.03* Added support for 4.30DEX CFW (REBUG) (TBA)* Added support for PS1 BIN+CUE (using ps1_emu/netemu) for 3.55DEX, 4.21DEX and 4.30DEX

* Added DynaRec support: New option in Settings "Enable DYNAREC"* DYNAREC support for 3.55CEX/DEX, 4.21CEX/DEX, 4.30CEX/DEX, 4.31CEX* Fixed few minor issues in 4x2 and 8x4 modes (refreshing the game title when insert/ejecting a PS3 game disc)* Fixed a very rare bug in mmOS when icon names/texts are getting corrupted

DYNAREC support tested on 4.21REX and 4.30ROGERO with ps3sx_Beta.pkg which is enough to assume that the implementation is proper. Thanks to Ing. Pereira for the htab info and PeteUK for the testing. All offsets can be found in my source below so Ing. Pereira can port his app for other firmwares, too. Also there is an easier way to detect all CFW firmwares and I posted about it at the end of this post.

=============================================

Here is a slightly modified PS3SX:

* You can install it on any mM supported firmware (3.55CEX/DEX, 4.21CEX/DEX, 4.30CEX/DEX, 4.31CEX)* The configuration file is USRDIR/CF.ini* Comes with bios and all paths set properly where the default ROM path is /dev_hdd0/PSXISO* EBOOT.BIN calls RELOAD.SELF so you can boot PS3SX directly from multiMAN* It has VERY POOR compatibility but shows that dynarec is working on all firmwares.

You can enable DynaRec in mM's settings and directly load PS3SX from mM's GAME column. Thanks to aldostools for the cover. Developers can use this dynarec option in mM if they wish to test their apps in this environment.

=============================================

The implementation in mM is different than IngPereira's approach, because it doesn't use the 0x700000 area for the payload and the patches, there are no issues with PKG files and works on all firmwares. Still the kammy data for the hvsc redirections is used, but dynarec's usage is greatly simplified by an "On/Off" option in mM.

I'm just saying this because some morons will go again with their idiotic comments about copy/pasting. Parts of the mM code is here, along with info how to make it work on all firmwares.

* Added option in settings "Redirect /app_home":--- Disable (/app_home will not be mounted at all)--- Enable (/app_home as used in previous versions - points to the game - for disc-less)--- Toolbox (on Rogero firmwares with pre-installed toolbox if you play from discs only - it allows you to return to stealthMAN without restart)

* For 3.55DEX and 4.21DEX mM now supports split-games, adds better disc-less compatibility and also allows loading of PS1 backups in BIN+CUE format from internal/external.

* IMPROVED DISC-LESS COMPATIBILITY:

The new payload allows for some tweaks and there is 80% chance that games that didn't work disc-less will now work.

Version 04.19.03 - 04.19.04* Added support for BIN+CUE PS1 games with AUDIO tracks* Added Smooth/Full-Screen options for PS1 games in "Settings"* Added 4 new translation labels* Updated Showtime to 04.01.480

Memory cards are stored per game in the same folder as the game. Covers can be named as the iso/bin with .jpg (3264x3264 max) or .png (416x414 max) extension (or as COVER.JPG (3264x3264 max) when using PSXGAMES folder with game-name subfolder).

Version 4.18.04 Added initial Support to Cobra 4.30 CFW it seems to improves some games compatibility

The last cobra update was from Nov 7th and since these multiMAN features have bee added to mmCM as well.

Version 04.18.03* Changed method for scanning of control-info for eboot.bin/self/sprx files* [* Install Package Function] won't allow adding the same PKG twice and allows 'deselecting' when "Standard" method is used

Version 04.18.01* Greatly improved graphics rendering (visuals) when mM is used in 480p/576p/720p* Browsing Blu-ray, AVCHD and DVD-Video discs from the BD/DVD icon in Video column now works* Removed duplicates of BD/AVCHD/DVD-Video entries in the Video column* Fixed mouse-control when mmOS is the first display mode after mM starts* Toolbox/IPF from /app_home will be activated when you quit mM on 4.30 Rogero CFWs (not if you load a game)

Version 04.18.00* Added support for downloadable packages/files in the Web column* Fixed some minor issues (rename/delete) when using "Game Settings" menu (after using L1/R1 to switch games)* Reworked some core functions and improved mM's performance even more* Added back "Install Package Files Method" to Settings for 4.30 firmwares* Removed pulsing of the currently selected entry (works better with some fonts)* "Game Settings" menu now loads faster* If the background game-verification didn't complete and you had to wait for "Verifying..." it will now happen only once per game. The result of the verification is now remembered

***I rewrote and optimized a lot of functions in this version and you will notice the difference.

Version 04.14.00Changes related only to 4.20-4.30 CEX/DEX CFWs:

BD-Mirror:* BD-Mirror option now supports USB HDDs mounted as /dev_usb000 to /dev_usb127* BD-Mirror option uses different approach now and doesn't move the PS3_GAME folder of USB games and doesn't modify the mount table* After using BD-Mirror for USB games, the usb drive is still accessible in XMB (Video/Music/Photo/Saves)* Improved disc-less support with BD-Mirror option enabled

USB Ports issues:* When using more than one USB device mM will disconnect/reconnect them from/to the USB bus in the proper order* This fixes games that crash when started from USB when multiple devices are connected

NTFS/PFS usage:* It is now possible to use any NTFS usb drive without configuring its Vendor/Device IDs in USB.CFG* When switching to NTFS/PFS mode use only one USB HDD connected (mM supports up to 2 partitions: FAT32+NTFS, NTFS+NTFS, FAT32+FAT32)* To access the contents of NTFS drives use mmOS and /pvd_usb000 /pvd_usb001 (games from NTFS drives won't show in other display modes)

Version 04.11.12 Fixed LV1 peek/poke for 4.21REX in DEX mode + DEX lv2_kernel Added back IDPS display in "System Information" Added preliminary support for 4.30CFW with LV1 peek/poke syscalls (sc 8/9) or lv1 mmap patch (hvsc 114) (if such CFW is released then direct-disc-access/PS1 disc backups should work) Increased number of supported simultaneous FTP transfers to 8 FTP user/password can be anything Added support for "Change BD-Movie Region" function for 4.30CFW Updated Showtime to 04.01.224

Game Compatibility:CFWs 3.55 Related ( KMEAW / REBUG / ROGERO )- Improved compatibility for the so-called "Black-Screen-Games" (BSG) which *until now* required the "BD-Mirror" option and worked ONLY from external usb HDD (otherwise game would lock/loop/error during load).- Now users of the listed firmwares can use the "BD-Mirror" option for game backups stored in the INTERNAL HDD. It may improve the compatibility of over 100 games (some older titles, some newer),for example AC1 / Colin Dirt 1 / Prince Of Persia / CoD / MW / Tomb Raider, incl. titles which had sound issues.- A partial list of some games that may gain from the new option can be found here:http://pastie.org/pastes/4115732/text(by GotIt4Free / http://www.tortuga-cove.com&#41;- It is now possible to set "BD-Mirror" option for games in Internal HDD and it enables the new functionality. The option works both with PS3 Game Disc in the tray and in discless mode from /app_home.- The option is available in the "Game Settings" menu for each game in the list

Multiman Cobra Manager mmCM (mmOS) version 04.03.02- Extended desktop content to 48 icons (6 system and 42 user defined); system icons cannot be moved/renamed/deleted- Added ability to arrange desktop icons - press L3 over an icon to move it to a free placeholder and then press L3 to place it- Fixed issue with playing/loading 2GB+ files with Showtime from /net_host or NTFS USB HDD (file wrongly cached to /dev_hdd1 when there isn't enough space there)- Fixed issue when USB.CFG is not present in USRDIR - now warning is issued when user enables PFS mode- Fixed loading of last open folders in mmOS - now /pvd_usb* folders from NTFS drives are not reloaded
